Strange parts list. N/A cams? IS300 MAF? 5MGE Oil pump? Some of those just don't sound quite right if it's a 7mgte. Someone please chime in if I seem under-educated. What are your power goals? Who is building it?

And btw, Welcome to SM from a Supra in Virginia!

Well as far as the parts list you can ask another new member evilMA70,
He used to own the supra in question.
I don't really have power goals in mind i want to get the car first and see what it has power wise, and the cars already built.

Ok, I was just curious since I know the N/A cams are actually not needed for over 400hp. They do great beneath that, but after that point, the turbo cams are best. Good luck with the vehicle! Check out our Meet we're trying to put together for Virginia and local areas around May 15th in the regional section!

Another soldier here. I'm over in germany right now. Trying to find a way to ship my 89 GT Limited that I got from Japan home. If I can't then I might just say to hell with it and tear it all down to nuts and bolts and bring everything but the shell and frame back. Then build up another RHD one. Might have to actually wait the 25 years like customs says and then ship it home. only another 4 years to wait for that...... I HATE DOT AND CUSTOMS!!!
